Dear Wikipedians, I just created a new page called Upazilas of Bangladesh. I have a plan to create all Upazila articles. Please suggest me or advice. I have done all Upazila articles for Bishnupriya Manipuri at: Upazila.

Also I ceated a Blank Location Map for Bangladesh (please see on the right side), which is using Coordinating point to locate a location. In Bishnupriya Manipuri wiki you will see some error to locate some areas (for example see: bpy:পাথরঘাটা), because my source web: Patharghata, Falling Rain Genomics, Inc itself showing wrong coordination point (), or may be fallingrain referring to Patharghata an archaeological site in Panchbibi upazila under Joypurhat district of Bangladesh, and the correct point for Patharghata Upazila should be . So I have to enter correct point manually rather from fallingrain.
[edit] Proposal
We may use a bot (like Bishnupriya Manipuri wiki) or do one by one to create upazila articles.
Thanks

[edit] Link to an Upazila article
If you want to link with any Upazila article, please use "Upazila" word after the name of the upazila. Some upazila has duplicate name in diffrent district, so use the district name after the Upazila with a coma. Example: Nawabganj Upazila and Nawabganj Upazila, Dinajpur.

[edit] Dhanbari Upazila, Tangail
How accurate is the Banglapedia entry on Tangail? There are plenty of other third-party sources which appear to confirm that Dhanbari is an Upazila ([1], [2], [3] and many more if you do a Google Search). This appears to question the reliability of Banglapedia as a reliable source. → AA (talk • contribs) — 08:10, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

- You right. Banglapedia has lots of mistake, for example Bishnupriya Manipuri is a ethnic society, culture and a language in Bangladesh, but Banglapedia completely erased this ethnic from Bangladesh, even Bishnupriya Manipuri people requested Banglapedia so many times. I am a Bishnupriya Manipuri from Bangladesh, and I do not know what to do?Usingha 14:12, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Name
This article should be moved to "Subdistricts of Bangladesh". This will keep in following the same conventions for the other administrative divisions. The article for the zilas is under "Districts of Bangladesh", not "Zilas of Bangladesh". ? Rarelibra 21:04, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
- Suggest putting the proposal in the project discussion page for a wider audience. I don't see a problem with the move. → AA (talk • contribs) — 21:08, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

- Actually, thinking about it again, it would be a bigger task since all the individual Upazila articles would have to be renamed also. Furthermore, "District" is used in normal conversation in preference to "Zila" (in my experience) so it makes sense to use District. But "sub-district" is not a term that is used generally, "Upazila" (or before that "thana") is used. But it would need wider acceptance from the project participants in order to make the change. → AA (talk • contribs) — 21:12, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

That's cool with me. I am new here, so just wanted to see what the consensus was. I went ahead and finished a map - but I will need help with any references possible to actually place the names on the right upazilas... anyone care to help? :) Rarelibra 21:22, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] New Map
Check out the {{Infobox of upazilas}}. I think your map gives a better demarcation of the upazilas. Would be worth liasing with Usingha to see if this one can be converted for use with the infobox. → AA (talk • contribs) — 21:40, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

- I found a website with the nice map breakdowns by District and upazila. Will take a few days to update a few minor changes. I will see about creating locator maps with the actual upazila shape as opposed to the point-locator. I'll see what Usingha thinks. :) Rarelibra 20:23, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
